Once scorned, twice as nasty

| I speak of course, of the troll wars
| pertaining to Linux vs Windows vs Mac. Now,
| unfortunately, Macs tend to get away pretty
| well in these arguments, because regardless
| of how much open source software they steal
| and how much they try to push forward the
| boundaries of Vendor Lock-In, they are still
| the under dog in comparison to Microsoft, so
| MOST people, tend to leave them alone. The
| troll wars that I am particularly interested
| in, are those that follow the blog posts of a
| certain Steven J Vaughan-Nichols (Or SJVN to
| most of us).

| It's a bribe. Period. You say nice things about us, you get nice

| I'm not sure how I was selected to be one of the people receiving this
| (I'm assuming there are others, but I haven't come across any yet).
| It could be that they are reaching out to bloggers who are Mac users
| (I switched to a Mac back when OS X came out) or it might just be that
| people I know who work for Microsoft or other influential bloggers
| recommended me
